IC 4628 Prawn Nebula

I don't often see images of this one around, And I was looking for a target to fill in some time earlier in the year. Despite not really knowing what to expect, I framed this up anyway and set NINA to capturing what it could.

I've only just had the time to get around to processing the near-on 17 hours of data, and this is what I've come up with.

Click here to see it on Astrobin. (recommended!)


Processing: (as best I can remember)

Stars:
LinearFit > ChannelCombination > SPCC > StarX > GHS > CurvesTransformation (Saturation only)

NB:
LinearFit > BlurX > NoiseX > StarX > GHS > ChannelCombination (SHO) > NarrowbandNormalisation > DarkStructureEnhance > CurvesTransformation

PixelMath to bring the stars back, then a very light BlurX to reduce star size.

Thanks for looking and Clear Skies!
